The best teammates in the NBA
Chapter 429 Don't insert unknown people! (Million word chapter)
Chapter 429 Don't insert unknown people! ([-]D chapter)
On the morning of May 5th, since there was only one game last night, America's football critics discussed G15 of the Western Conference Finals.
Leonard's "If" theory has been brought up again, and the argument is very simple:
"They all lead by 20 points at halftime. Maybe the four-star Warriors are not that strong?"
Sweeping the Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs and the Spurs in the semifinals, the Warriors did show their dominance, but the process was not so convincing.
Durant, who lost the game, was in a bad mood in the video class in the morning. He punched hard in the third quarter of last night's game, but unfortunately he was useless
Watching himself scoring goals in the replay, Durant thought about it and felt that losing was not his problem.
During the Thunder team period, Li Ze was at the beginning, and Durant played the role of a scorer. Later, he suffered a serious injury and became the leader for a season, and then Donovan came, and his status as a core player was not guaranteed.
How to be the leader of the team, Durant lacks experience, so after losing, he neither comforted his teammates, nor did he output crazy, but just remained silent.
There was only one day between G1 and G2, leaving little time for the Warriors to adjust. After the assistant coach dismantled the Clippers' offense, Steve Kerr stood up and said confidently:
"What we need to do is to improve the quality of the screen. We need to let the scorer find the feeling outside the three-point line first!"
"Listen, it's a long series, keep your mind up, on the road, we just have to play hard."
The coaching staff tried to keep the Warriors players confident, and the most feared thing in a big loss was to vent suddenly.
The function of the video lesson is to let the players see their own shortcomings, and by the way let everyone understand their roles, who will be the main attacker and who will be the tool man. After a game, they have a complete conclusion.
Curry watched the assistant coach constantly communicate with Durant, and felt a little uncomfortable. Obviously, everyone trusted Durant's ability more.
19中7，三分线外8中1，罚球2中2，17分5篮板4助攻2失误。
Curry's performance in G1 was mediocre, and it's no wonder that everyone no longer trusts him. Facing Li Ze's pursuit and defense, he really has no good way.
19中13，三分线外6中3，罚球6中6，35分5篮板3失误，杜兰特是勇士队G1发挥最好的球员。
After watching the video lesson, Green hugged his thigh again. After the assistant coach finished speaking, he followed suit:
"As long as Kevin can maintain such a stable score, we have a chance to win an away game!"
"Show our tough attitude, we have to escalate the confrontation, and if we want to win, we have to defend desperately!"
Green in the locker room likes to speak up. Everyone in the Warriors saw Green yelling loudly and waving his hands passionately, and they also discussed it. Last night's game can indeed explain a lot of problems:
There are not many available people on the bench, David West is weak in protecting the frame, and cannot prevent the Clippers from splitting and cooperating with the three on the line
Clay, like Durant, did not speak after watching the video lesson, but he has always been like this. He is not interested in being a licking dog, and he will not complain about his teammates' poor performance.
Last night's game was 11 out of 3 and only scored 8 points in the end. The audience was invisible. After watching the video lesson, Clay looked at Curry who was silent the whole time, and finally said only one sentence:
"Continue to shoot, continue to shoot from outside the three-point line, this is our right!"
Hearing the comfort of his teammates and looking at the technical statistics provided by the assistant coach, Curry nodded silently and made up his mind:
"This is my team!"
The interval between games is very short. In addition to warming up for tonight's Eastern Conference semifinal tiebreaker, the TNT program will naturally also follow the trend to discuss the Warriors' big loss.
As a professional basketball program, it is natural to present facts and make sense. The host Ernie Johnson saw the director put the data on the screen and immediately said:
"36:47, the Warriors lost 11 rebounds, Steve's bold start seems to have a problem!"
O'Neal has always disliked the current rhythm of basketball. For the Warriors' five small lineups, it is natural to have a wave of output:
"The reason why Kayce can easily break through to the basket and complete the offense is largely because the Warriors lack the height to protect the basket inside."
"How tall is Greymond Green? I'm sorry I can't remember, I swear, if I were ten years younger, I could easily destroy the inside of the Warriors!"
"Basketball needs height. The closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate. Jump shots can't win championships!"
Kenny Smith nodded with a smile on the side, he has always been a firm Li Zechui:
"Clippers in Four? I love the Clippers fans chanting!"
"Kayce only played 32 minutes, and last night was probably the easiest game of his career in the playoffs."
Charles Barkley, who has been silent for a long time, began to send suggestions for the Warriors at this time:
"If anyone from the Warriors sees our show, G2 will stop playing so softly!"
"If you can't make a shot from beyond the arc, go to the rim, get to the free-throw line, and don't expect the rebound to fall into your arms."
"Hey! The Clippers eliminated the 73-win Warriors, don't you want to eliminate the 74-win Clippers? This is the best chance for revenge!"
The host Ernie Johnson almost laughed out loud. Everyone watched the game. The Clippers' ability to protect the basket is not weak:
"Okay, Chuck, the series has just begun, give the Warriors a little time, even if the away game loses, I believe they will protect the home court."
"LeBron James will know tonight who he will face in the Eastern Conference finals this year. I kind of expect someone to end his reign in the Eastern Conference!"
Seemingly thinking of the possibility of this year's finals, Charles Barkley said another depressed sentence:
"I hope James doesn't go to the Finals again. Seriously, Eastern Conference teams, there is no hope of winning."
"."
The tie-breaker has attracted the attention of most fans, and a game that determines the outcome is always more attractive.
The Celtics have Blake Griffin, Al Horford, and Isaiah Thomas who broke out this year, and they are obviously even stronger!
It's just that under the blessing of the home whistle, the Wizards fought back and won all the home games by a narrow margin, which made it to the tiebreaker.
In the game that night, the Celtics broke out in the third quarter, at 24:34 in a single quarter, and their offensive firepower remained undiminished in the last quarter, winning the game in one fell swoop.
At 105:115, the Celtics successfully won the tiebreaker, reaching the Eastern Conference Finals again after many years!
The surface brother Griffin played 41 minutes, 16 of 10, scored 24 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal. The number of shots was not many, and his performance was quite satisfactory in terms of statistics.
The Celtics are blooming a lot. Under the system of head coach Stevens, everyone performs their duties and everyone is brave!
Griffin, who was grinning after winning the game, proved himself again. In an interview after the game, he even swelled and let out bold words:
"I will lead the team to the finals this year! Everyone underestimates us, and we will prove our strength."
The TNT reporter looked weird, he didn't believe Griffin's words at all, the Cavaliers are not a display
The Cavaliers coaching staff naturally also paid attention to this game. After Tyronn Lue saw that the opponent was the Celtics, he felt neither happy nor sad.
It is not their goal for a team with the highest salary in the league to only win the Eastern Conference championship. The current owner Gilbert is almost impatient.
Tyronn Lue knows that once the team loses consecutively, the thigh LeBron James may leave him. Taking advantage of the fact that the second player in the league still has trade value, he is not surprised that the team chooses to send away the Chosen Son.
Thinking of his contract situation, Tyronn Lue silently recited in his heart before going to bed:
"It's better to hold on for another year, the division champion is also the champion."
On May 5, G16 between the Warriors and the Clippers officially started that night.
For more than a day, neither side has much room for adjustment.
The Clippers, who hold the home court advantage, naturally want to protect the home court!
There are 2 days of adjustment time between G3 and G3. The Warriors will definitely work hard tonight. Even if the main lineup plays full time, as long as they win an away game, they will have enough recovery time.
Steve Kerr also directly revealed his card in an interview before the game:
"We will increase the playing time of the main lineup. At the same time, in this game, we will also shorten some rotations."
"Physical fitness is not a problem, don't forget that we are also a young team!"
Players from both sides did not accept too many interviews. G1 will test, and G2 will determine the trend of the series.
The Clippers fans naturally came to the Staples Arena early, and there was a burst of shouting "Clippers in Four" before the game, continuing to be crazy about the home team
Compared with G1, Slag Pachulia played a false starter, Iguodala returned to the bench, the Warriors did shorten the rotation, and David West only played 4 minutes.
It can barely be called an 8-man rotation. With the Warriors slamming the main force, the Clippers only led by 56 points at 58:2 in the half.
During the intermission, the Clippers fans at the scene were not worried about the result of the game at all, and the arena still maintained a joyous atmosphere.
In ESPN's commentary, Mark Jackson was relatively satisfied with the Warriors' halftime performance:
"This is the Western Conference Finals we were looking forward to. The Warriors made the right choice. What they need is to put the ball in the basket!"
"Consistent scoring is the most important thing. It's good to see them solve problems in the middle distance."
Durant made 13 of 8 in the half, scored 17 points and 1 rebound. With only one three-pointer, most of the offenses were completed in the middle distance.
Seeing that his old partner was in a good mood, Jeff Van Gundy joked:
"But what I see is that the Warriors still can't solve Kayce, 13 of 10, 6 of 4 from the three-point line, 29 points in the half!"
"Obviously, their defense wasn't doing anything."
When Mark Jackson heard such a response, he could only smile helplessly:
"It's useless to pray to God!"
"The Warriors need to accept these points. The difference of 2 points is negligible. The game is tied at halftime. They still have a chance in the second half."
In the Clippers locker room, everyone was still talking and laughing. The game finally came to their most familiar rhythm, and the ball was given to Li Ze.
In this game, even Eric Gordon's playing time has been reduced a lot, and all the defensive engineers who can play are defensive engineers.
Only Plumlee's normal rotation, the Clippers' strategy is to protect the inside, and after Paul George, the pie-eating center has little effect.
"Keep rebounding like this and we'll win tonight!"
About to debut, Li Ze moved his body, patted Jokic, and reminded his teammates to continue to protect the rebound with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, Kayce! Rebounding is not a problem, we have the height advantage!"
Paul George replied confidently from the side.
Although he failed to hold Durant in the half game, Paul George was in a good mood. The game became easier and easier, and he finally felt the feeling of hugging his thigh.
The atmosphere group also followed up to cheer up the main lineup. When it came to the key game, coach De Nagro no longer believed in the new players. There is a high probability that everyone will not have the opportunity to perform tonight.
Li Ze finally clapped his hands and led the Clippers out of the locker room. After a season, he finally found some feeling in tonight's game.
On the other side, Durant's excellent performance in the halftime made Green excited again. Seeing the continuous response from the thigh, Green felt that victory was already waving to them:
"We need to fight! Keep up the intensity of the defense and keep going for the rebounds."
"Leave the offensive end to Kevin. As long as we win an away game, we have a chance to end the series at home!"
During the intermission, Green began to encourage his teammates continuously. After the coaching staff made tactical adjustments, Green did not stop and continued to encourage everyone.
Veteran Andre Iguodala undertook all the tasks of defending Li Ze tonight. He scored zero points at halftime, but he is also very satisfied with the situation that the team is only 2 points behind:
"Hold on, don't worry about physical fitness, we will do our best tonight!"
The two kept high-fiving, trying to mobilize everyone's emotions. Durant felt that he was hot tonight, and at this time he said confidently:
"Give me the ball, victory tonight is ours!"
Hearing the promise made by the boss, there was a wave of flattery for a while, and several newcomers of the Warriors sang praises
In the Staples Center, the Clippers fans saw the Warriors kicking the baseline, and immediately shouted loudly:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
The Warriors took the lead in attacking, with simple and rough tactics. Green did not deal cards at the top of the arc. He cross-screened with Durant in the three-second zone, trying to switch Jokic in front of Durant.
This tactic was tried and tested in the first half. As long as the Clippers switched defenses, they basically gave Durant points.
Naturally, adjustments were made in the second half, and Li Ze strengthened his defensive aggression, and Iguodala was directly squeezed through the cover of pulling and dragging on the line.
Curry naturally felt the defensive pressure on his side. Harris had switched defenses in front of him, and Li Ze was chasing after him.
Double-teamed by two two-meter-high players, Curry almost failed to complete the ball, and hit the ground pass to Durant before approaching the left sideline.
After receiving the pass, Durant had a chance to give the ball to Iguodala who went down the middle, but in the end, Durant chose to continue playing singles.
Harris returned to defense to Iguodala's side, followed the opponent to the right corner, and the Warriors pulled away one by one, watching Durant continue to single out.
The timing of the pass was a bit slow. Durant didn't get the matchup he wanted. Looking at Paul George in front of him, he put the ball with his right hand after three threats in the left block. After a step up the line, he immediately relied on the hit .
With two strong hits, Durant immediately turned towards the baseline, and finally faced Paul George's block and completed a large fadeaway jumper!
"Shua!" A two-pointer was scored!
The two sides came to 58:58, and the Warriors successfully tied the point difference.
"Shhh!!"
The appearance of Durant pretending to be X and shaking his head to retreat was naturally booed by the Clippers fans on the scene.
There is nothing to analyze in such a tactical routine. It is simply the personal ability of the star. Both sides are waiting for the opponent's offensive power to be cut off.
The Warriors also made adjustments on the defensive end. After completing a single defense in the first half, they simply changed their defensive positions in the second half.
"Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers!"
The loud cheers didn't affect the Warriors' defensive formation.
Iguodala continued to lead the defense on the line. After Li Ze came to the left flank with the ball in his left hand, he immediately noticed the Warriors' rectangular position.
Clay and Curry stood at the two elbows on the left and right of the free throw line, and Green and Durant were off the line.
The rare defensive strategy did not cause any trouble to Li Ze. He dribbled the ball behind his back, switched to the right hand, and waved to Paul George on the right wing at the same time.
With Li Ze's instructions, Paul George immediately moved to the right corner. At the same time, Harris blocked Durant's side to cover Paul George without the ball.
When Li Ze approached the right flank with the ball in his right hand, Curry immediately stepped forward to cooperate with Iguodala to double-team Li Ze.
At the moment when the pinch was about to form, Li Ze quickly threw the ball to the right corner. Paul George received the pass and threw it away!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
The defense was unsuccessful in the first round, and the defensive tactics were so simple and rude, Steve Kerr on the sidelines rubbed his brows helplessly.
There is a reason why BOX-1 is known as a garbage tactic in the NBA.
Facing a single-core team, it may be possible to succeed, but once the role players are online and seize simple shooting opportunities, the defense will be completely disintegrated.
Li Ze's shooting percentage is too high, and the Clippers have an advantage in rebounding, which makes the Warriors constantly change their defensive strategies, trying to interrupt Li Ze's offensive rhythm.
After only one round, Steve Kerr yelled loudly on the sidelines and hurriedly made tactical gestures. They couldn't afford to bet.
In such a game, with a score difference of 5 points, the Warriors have a feeling of hopelessness.
The cheers of the fans made Paul George happy. It was difficult for him to get such an easy shot in the first half. Durant was responsible for marking him tonight, which also caused him a lot of trouble.
The Warriors' offensive rhythm is very slow, giving up the familiar passing and cutting in the regular season, and continuing to give the ball to Durant, who is in the right block.
This time Curry simply handed over the ball after halftime, and in the end it was Green who dealt the cards at the top of the arc, and the Warriors once again opened up the offensive space.
After receiving the pass, Durant immediately took a quick tentative step with his right foot, first horizontally and then vertically, after two consecutive taps, and finally against the defense, he made a mid-range jumper!
"Shua!" The middle distance scored again!
The block made by Paul George didn't play much role, and Durant felt very hot tonight.
Durant, who was pacing and retreating, enjoyed such moments very much. The boos of the fans were the best encouragement for him, and the one-on-one hero ball was what he had been longing for!
Curry, who has become a corner shooter for two consecutive rounds, is expressionless. He readily accepts the arrangement of the coaching staff. As long as he can win, everything is easy to say
Seeing the Warriors' tactics, Li Ze smiled and patted Paul George on the back as encouragement. He didn't like chasing Curry all over the court, and it was much more comfortable to squat in the corner.
It can also save him more physical energy by not having to run like crazy. Under normal circumstances, Li Ze seldom insists on making the super badge continue to respond, and the physical monster can't withstand such consumption.
But tonight's game was surprisingly easy, with frequent bottom corners, and not having to defend Durant, Li Ze saved a lot of energy.
On the Warriors bench, everyone looked at Li Ze with a smile on his face for half the time, and looked at each other for a while. Didn't he feel the oppression brought by Durant?
The man-to-man defense was restored. When Li Ze came to the left wing with the ball in his left hand, Tucker in the left corner cut in along the baseline without the ball, and Jokic, who was near the baseline on the right, moved to the free throw line.
Iguodala saw that the Clippers began to clear the inside again, immediately frowned, and hurriedly lowered the focus of defense.
Everyone in the Clippers had just finished positioning. Li Ze, who held the ball in his left hand, dribbled the ball under the crotch twice in a row under the defense of Iguodala. After shaking his body left and right, he accelerated with his left hand.
Iguodala slid quickly and did not lose his defensive position, but was crushed by Li Ze and broke through to the left block.
Green only felt that Li Ze was going to get close to the basket in the blink of an eye, and he didn't care about Jokic at the free throw line, so he helped defend under the blue at the first time.
As soon as the defense was in place, Green saw Li Ze suddenly stop in the left block, and retreated sharply after blowing up the ball. Iguodala's defense was completely gone.
Li Ze ignored the block and easily completed a fadeaway jumper. Green in the paint could only watch the ball fall into the basket accurately.
The Clippers fans at the scene were completely overwhelmed. The stars who come and go are singled out, which is everyone's favorite!
"There is nothing to say about such an offensive round. The test is the quality of the stars. Maybe the Warriors can consider double-teaming."
Mark Jackson thinks the game is pretty good, but there is not much to explain about this personal offensive mode. It is hard to imagine that the Warriors will play such a game.
As the game progressed, Durant kept asking for the ball, and the two sides began to stabilize +2
At 64:67, he hit two consecutive mid-range shots, and Durant scored all the points for the Warriors.
Just seeing that the team was still behind by 3 points and Li Ze was still attacking with a smile, Durant was a little bit broken
As expected, everyone in the Clippers looked serious, and there was no targeted defense against him at all. Durant even felt that the Clippers were inviting him to play singles.
"Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! Let's go!"
Li Ze's consecutive scoring in these rounds has ignited the atmosphere in the Staples Arena.
Amidst the loud shouts of the fans, Li Ze suddenly accelerated his progress.
Green reminded Iguodala loudly for the first time:
"Switch defenses!"
Although the problem was solved in the middle distance in several rounds, no one wanted to see Li Ze score at the basket.
With Tucker on the court, the Clippers sank to the bottom of most possessions, with Paul George on the left and right flanks.
In this attack, Jokic did not sink to the bottom line after halftime after completing the baseline serve. Instead, he made a high pick-and-roll for Li Ze at the logo position.
Iguodala failed to squeeze through the screen in time, and after Li Ze completed the change of direction with his right hand, he held the ball with his left hand and kept accelerating against the left side of Jokic's body.
Green desperately slid back to the right, facing Li Ze's crotch pull back on the three-point line, and quickly adjusted his defensive focus. Seeing Li Ze holding the ball in his right hand, he accelerated his breakthrough again and continued to slide back to the left.
After making an excellent defensive prediction, Green did not lose his position. Amidst the cheers of the fans, Li Ze, who broke through the paint, quickly turned around and came to the bottom left of the basket in an instant!
The high-speed turn around completely got rid of the defense, and Green, who was repeatedly broken through in the first half, completely broke the defense this time.
Evil comes from the guts, and when Li Ze's attack could not be blocked, he simply used "two dragons playing with pearls"!
After jumping in the air, Green pressed his arm with his right hand, followed by his left hand to get in the eye!
In the blink of an eye, Li Ze in the air grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand, leaned forward to pick up the basket, and at the same time tilted his head and elbow, and smeared Green's face first!
"My bowl!"
"what!"
Li Ze's cries and Green's cries of pain sounded at the same time. The fans only saw the ball hit the board and Green fell to the ground in pain, clutching his left face.
Swinging his right arm, a large bloodstain was drawn on Li Ze's arm. Green, who had eaten an elbow, was beaten hard, and fell to the ground covering his face and twitching.
"A boring little trick!"
Green, who was lying on the floor, heard Li Ze's voice, stood up in a daze, and wanted to come forward to punch two old punches.
The referee reacted faster, pulled Green immediately, and at the same time signaled the team doctor to come on the field. Li Ze's arm needs to stop bleeding, and Green also needs to check whether there is a concussion.
Everyone in the Warriors hurriedly gathered around, Clay pretended to push Li Ze to the Clippers bench, and the game was forced to suspend.
Looking back at the round just now on the big screen in the center of the field, Tucker was most clearly in the left corner. At this time, he was stopped by the assistant coach and kept shouting at the Warriors:
"Fack! What are you trying to do with your left hand? It's not a basketball move at all!"
Iguodala was also a little displeased with Li Ze's elbow, and also yelled:
"Didn't you see Draymond get hit in the face? What kind of basketball move is that?"
Steve Kerr hurriedly pulled the main players back to the bench. Fortunately, the referee kept watching the movements of the players on both sides, and there was no conflict after consecutive whistles.
Green, who was in a daze, only felt that his left face had begun to swell, and the Clippers fans at the scene began to spit after watching the replay:
"Fack squid! Dirty clown! You are not welcome in Los Angeles!"
"Shet! Is Pachulia playing too? Get the hell out of LA!"
The fans in the back row even threw beer directly at the Warriors bench, and the security guards rushed to control the emotional fans.
Everyone in the Warriors didn't care about such a scene. They had already enjoyed such treatment once in San Antonio.
The team doctor shook his head at Steve Kerr, indicating that Green must undergo further examinations and is temporarily unable to play.
The defensive core was gone, Steve Kerr had a headache for a while, and waved to Pachulia helplessly, the Warriors had to survive this period of time.
On the Clippers bench, Li Ze looked at the scratch on his right arm, and secretly complained in his heart:
"Fortunately, I've been prepared! Next time I have to wear an arm guard."
The referee did not give a malicious foul, but gave each of them a technical foul. Coach De Nagro still seemed very dissatisfied, and he was still arguing loudly in front of the technical stage:
"Hey! That's definitely a dangerous move, he should be sent off for this game!"
Thinking of the consequences of Jin's thigh injury, head coach De Nagro almost broke out in a cold sweat.
The third quarter of the game became full of confrontation with the departure of Green and the appearance of Pachulia.
After only playing a fake start for more than 3 minutes, Pachulia was full of energy. In the subsequent game, using aggressive screens, the Warriors finally punished Jokic consecutively.
"Shhh!!"
Seeing Curry go to the basket with the ball in his left hand and score two points, the Staples Arena was full of false noises, and Jokic was stunned.
With Durant's efficiency declining, others finally stood up and rushed to the basket frequently to score points.
The atmosphere group of the Warriors also cheered and celebrated. Green returned to the arena at the end of the third quarter. Steve Kerr did not immediately replace him. The current offensive rhythm of the Warriors is not bad.
The illegal cover has relaxed the scale again, which brings convenience to the Warriors and at the same time makes Li Ze's breakthrough unstoppable.
At the last moment of the third quarter, Iguodala still used the high pick-and-roll after halftime, and Iguodala bumped into Jokic's arms helplessly.
Seeing Li Ze push the ball with his left hand to change direction, accelerate and pass the delayed Pachulia in one step, Iguodala hurriedly shouted:
"Help defend!"
Durant, who was near the bottom line on the right, saw Li Zeyou rushing into the paint, and immediately stepped forward to block it.
Li Ze, who was in the breakthrough, did not slow down, swayed right and left, and made a large European step, shaking Durant into a telegraph pole, came to the bottom left of the basket, and succeeded in picking the basket with his left hand!
Durant, who hit the iron frequently in the second half, saw Li Ze walking towards the bench with a smile after finishing the attack. He couldn't help but slapped the ball hard twice, cursing inwardly:
"Damn attitude!"
At 87:90, with Li Ze's breakthrough at the buzzer at the last moment, the Clippers still maintain a 3-point lead!
The anxious game made the atmosphere of the Staples Arena gradually violent. Mark Jackson concluded cheerfully at this time:
"Wonderful game. The Warriors succeeded in attacking the Clippers inside in the second half and almost completed the overtake!"
"I didn't choose to shoot three-pointers, this is definitely the most correct choice!"
Jeff Van Gundy is also hard to say about the Warriors' screen problems, and the whistleblowing standards of both sides are the same:
"The Clippers replaced Plumlee's frame protection effect is also very general, the big man is facing the impact of the defender, it is difficult to make an effective defense."
The commentator Mike Breen is more concerned about playing time. Both sides rarely rest tonight:
"Kayce and Durant both played the third quarter, and the fourth quarter may be a test of their physical fitness!"
When Mark Jackson thought of physical problems, he sighed helplessly:
"Fitness? Test? Will Kayce get tired?"
In the Staples Arena, the noise is getting louder and louder. The more intense the game, the more involved the fans will be.
Li Ze, who was on the bench, was full of energy. He ate some oranges while resting. Seeing that the fourth quarter was about to start, he took the initiative to say:
"Coach, let me play first, I will play the 3rd position, and Tobias will continue to play the 4th position."
The Clippers naturally made such a plan. Coach De Nagro saw that Li Ze showed no signs of fatigue, and nodded without hesitation:
"The opponent is more tired than us. At the last moment of the game, all we have to do is to believe in each other and persevere. We will soon win the game!"
The atmosphere team also cheered after hearing the head coach's words. Everyone believed that no one could survive Li Ze. Even if they only led by 3 points, their morale remained undiminished.
In this game, Durant only rested for a period of time at the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter. After playing the third quarter, he continued to play in the fourth quarter.
The Warriors regained Livingston and David West, who didn't play much in the first half of the game, and Clay, Durant, and Green also played.
"Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers!"
In the fourth quarter, the Clippers took the lead in attacking. Amid the cheers of the fans, Brogdon advanced with the ball in his right hand, facing Livingston's defense, half turned around and protected the ball with his back.
The Warriors put a lot of pressure on Brogdon in this game, trying to cause mistakes for this cute new point guard.
Fortunately, the Clippers' tactical requirements are very simple. Don't hesitate to defend, pass halftime, and opportunities arise. If you do these three points, you will complete the task.
Harris on the left wing cuts diagonally and takes away Green's defense, while Li Ze in the right corner runs from right to left without the ball along the baseline.
Durant was naturally relentless in pursuit. Plumlee at the bottom left of the basket gave Li Ze a back screen. David West, with his old arms and legs, naturally did not switch defenses. After the screen, Durant's pursuit was slow. A beat.
Seeing Li Ze running to the left flank at high speed, Durant began to adjust his defensive focus when he was attacking outwards. He didn't want to be passed by one step.
Durant, who slowed down in advance, lowered his defensive center of gravity. The moment Li Ze, the left flank, received the ball, he swayed left and right, crossed and broke through, and accelerated with all his strength after releasing the ball with his right hand.
Durant, who was a little embarrassed, wanted to slide to the left rear to defend, but found that he was passed by one step.
Durant didn't even have time to remind David West on the inside, Li Ze rushed into the paint area, jumped with both feet, dodged David West's arm in the air, and grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand and smashed it into the basket basket!
"Squeak! Boom!"
The whistle blew the ball, and Li Ze's powerful tomahawk dunk instantly ignited the atmosphere of the scene.
After landing, Li Ze walked towards the free throw line with a calm expression. Green, whose left face was already swollen, clapped viciously and encouraged his teammates loudly:
"Good defense! That's it!"
Last year's loss, coupled with another elbow tonight, Green didn't pretend anymore, no matter what his appearance in the league, this time it's time to fight.
With Li Ze's extra penalty hit, the score came to 87:93, and the point difference was expanded to 6 points.
The Warriors' offense was still looking for Durant, but this time it was replaced by Li Ze's defense. The cross screen failed to get a chance, and he came to the left flank, but was still chased by Li Ze to the outside.
Livingston had just handed over the ball. After receiving the pass, Green at the top of the arc found that Durant was being guarded, and immediately turned his head to look at the right flank.
First, it was David West's screen on the bottom line on the right, and then Livingston, who passed the ball, screened in the block position. Under the double screen, Clay quickly bounced out.
Gordon lost his defensive position, Brogdon was a step slower in switching defenses, and Clay, who received the pass from the right wing, did not make any adjustments, and threw the ball as soon as he got it!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
At 90:93, the point difference was forced to close in an instant. After scoring the goal, Clay was also expressionless and retreated quickly.
The atmosphere team of the Warriors yelled from the sidelines, and the familiar three-pointer finally came back!
Durant was suppressed on the offensive end, and he couldn't stand it on the defensive end.
He clearly knew that the Clippers were playing a zipper screen to let Li Ze catch the ball at the right elbow, but he just couldn't keep up with the offensive rhythm.
Brogdon sent a pass at the top of the arc, and Li Ze received the ball in the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line. Durant just put up the defense, and Li Ze immediately put the ball with his right hand and made a breakthrough.
Durant, who had been prepared, hurriedly blocked the breakthrough route. At the same time, Livingston at the top of the arc also rushed up, double-teaming Li Ze from behind.
When the two were about to form an encirclement, Li Ze suddenly used his left foot as the axis, turned quickly from between the two, got rid of the defense in an instant, and shot a mid-range jumper with his body crooked!
"Shua!" Two points and then scored!
Livingston looked at Li Ze frantically, did he really have eyes in the back of his head?
Coach De Nagro was no longer calm at this time. The Warriors' cover was so fierce that he had to remind his players loudly from the sidelines:
"Switch, get past screens! Rebound!"
When the Warriors' primary hitter became Klay, it was basically catch-and-throw.
The Clippers fans at the scene saw that the left flank Clay did not make adjustments and threw another three-pointer, and they couldn't hold back:
"Shhh!!"
At 93:95, the point difference was narrowed again.
Durant only felt that he had become a defensive engineer, and the concealed pull prevented Li Ze from receiving the ball with his back on the left.
The excessive half-circle forward defensive action allowed Li Ze to find an opportunity, suddenly turned around, got rid of Durant's defense and went straight to the basket.
Brogdon's pass was too high, and the fans at the scene saw Li Ze catch the ball with his head flat on the basket, and all of them exclaimed.
David West hurried forward to block, and Durant also chased and double-teamed. Li Ze under the basket raised the ball and swayed it. Get up, hit the board and put the basket successfully!
"squeak!"
He didn't even pull it, David West heard the referee's whistle and had no choice but to put his hands on his hips. Is this strength a defender?
Taking advantage of Li Ze's free throw, the two sides got back the main lineup, and made another free throw, 93:98, and the point difference returned to 5 points.
The Warriors, who had suffered a lot, no longer took three-pointers easily at this time. After Curry appeared on the court, Paul George defended in front of Durant again, and the two sides began to fight each other inside.
Durant made a free throw, Paul George made a free throw, Iguodala made a free throw, and Li Ze stood on the free throw line again.
Without a sports game goal, the referee began to whistle continuously, and the Clippers fans on the scene screamed excitedly.
The point difference has been maintained at 5 points. No matter how the Warriors chase points, the Clippers can always respond in time.
Green was also completely on the top. Durant was blocked by Paul George's half-circle defense on the left and failed to catch the ball in time. Curry on the right flank came to the top of the arc again to hand over.
Green sent the ball, but found that Li Ze quickly squeezed past him again, his head felt hot, and he started to move with his buttocks pouted.
Li Ze was hugged immediately, and Green wanted to continue pestering, but was pushed away in the end.
"Hey! Go ahead! That's it, ignore me again!"
Seeming to have found his own sense of existence, Green, whose face was swollen, clapped his hands and shouted.
Li Ze shook his head, walked slowly towards the sideline, and reminded with a strange expression:
"It's time for you to rest!"
Green, who was still clapping excitedly, noticed that Steve Kerr on the sidelines called Pachulia to stand up and get ready to go on stage.
Green, who recovered his composure, saw the referee gesture, indicating that he had already fouled out, and immediately opened his mouth silently, which seemed a little unbelievable.
At 105:110, with the last 2 minutes and 07 seconds left in the game, Green fouled and left the field.
In the Staples Arena, the laughter of the Clippers fans stimulated Green again, and he raised his hands in broken cans, shouting and exchanging passion with the fans in the front row.
In the first defensive round after David West reappeared, Iguodala failed to squeeze through Jokic's screen in the pick-and-roll attack on the left flank.
David West, whose scalp was numb, was forced to delay coming up. He wanted to slide to defend, but Li Ze, who had just got rid of Iguodala with his left hand, quickly In and out.
After Li Ze's body swayed to the right, he suddenly took a large horizontal step. David West failed to make a defensive move, and Li Ze quickly shot a jumper from outside the three-point line!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
Seeing Li Ze put up three fingers calmly, and the game time was within 2 minutes, there was another loud cheer in the Staples Arena.
At 105:113, with 1 minute and 56 seconds left in the game, the Warriors faced the question of who to give the ball to.
Durant, who had declined in physical fitness, only scored one sports goal in the fourth quarter. After Curry held the ball for halftime, Durant still opened his hand for the ball in the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line.
Paul George didn't take many offensive shots in this game. At this time, he completely leaned on Durant and defended several times, making Curry dare not pass the ball easily.
Li Ze is also oppressing Curry's right hand. In desperation, he dribbles the ball behind the top of the arc. Curry, who holds the ball in his left hand, is going to use David West's cover to continue to break through.
The up-line cover was squeezed, and Curry felt that Li Ze was chasing up again, and continued to accelerate regardless.
The two rushed into the paint, Jokic stopped at the free throw line to mark West, and there were only two people in the penalty area.
Curry, who made a layup, tried to lean forward, trying to use his speed to get rid of Li Ze's defense.
The moment Curry picked up the basket with his left hand, the ball just came out of his hand, and the next second it stopped on the backboard!
"Snapped!"
Li Ze, who had been waiting in the air for a long time, sent out a pegboard hat. The fans at the scene saw Li Ze regain control of the ball, and everyone in the Clippers ran wildly to launch a counterattack, and immediately shouted excitedly.
Clay didn't care about the opposing defender at this time, and immediately defended Li Ze's side.
Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, quickly circled the ball behind his back, switched to his right hand and continued to accelerate.
The two entangled and came to the right flank outside the three-point line. Before they could get close to the three-point line, Li Ze made an emergency stop and suddenly crossed and pulled back.
Clay didn't have time to adjust his defensive focus. Seeing that Li Ze didn't slow down after making an emergency stop, he rushed past him with the ball in his left hand. His feet stumbled in a hurry, and he was instantly shaken to the floor.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Li Ze, who holds the ball in his left hand, went straight to the basket at 45 degrees from the left wing, approached the paint area and soared into the air, gliding in the air.
Dodge Durant who blocked the block from the side, grab the ball with one hand with his left hand, and avoid David West's block under the basket in the air.
After shaking twice in the air, he came to the lower left side of the basket, and after being completely unguarded, he took advantage of the opportunity to pick the basket!
"Squeak!"
The whistle blew and the ball went in, and the Staples Arena instantly exploded. On the Clippers' bench, the atmosphere team was so excited that they tossed the towel!
"Wow!"
It was almost a goal that sealed the victory. After landing, Li Ze yelled, and by the way, glanced at the silent Warriors bench, high-fived with his teammates to celebrate, and slowly walked to the free throw line.
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
Amid the shouts of MVP from the fans at the scene, Li Ze's extra penalty hit steadily again.
105:116，全场比赛还剩1分26秒，快船队领先11分。
Time was running out. Clay missed consecutive three-pointers at the last moment. The Clippers spent 24 seconds. Paul George stood on the free throw line again, and the game completely lost its suspense.
The final buzz sounded, and the score was fixed at 107:118. After a hard fight to the end, the Clippers successfully protected the home court, and the series came to a score of 2:0.
Durant, who failed to receive the pass at the last moment, seemed very dissatisfied, and walked directly to the player channel at the end of the game.
Curry looked at the big screen in the center of the venue unwillingly, shook hands briefly, turned his head and left with a serious expression.
The only cheers in Staples Center were Clippers fans, who yelled again:
"Clippers in Four!"
Riding on the face to ridicule, the Warriors, who had lost two games in a row, soon all left the field.
Seeing Li Ze and Paul George clapping their hands in celebration and waving to the fans, Mark Jackson in the commentary had no choice but to smile bitterly:
"The unstoppable Kayce, the terrifying scoring stability, the strongest scorer in history!"
"Unfortunately, the Warriors lost at the last moment, they made a stupid mistake!"
Jeff Van Gundy understood that his old partner was referring to Green's foul, but he had a different opinion:
“26中19，三分线外9中6，罚球12中12，56分7篮板7助攻1抢断1盖帽，这才是我们熟悉的Kayce。”
"What I want to say is that this is the gap between the stars. The Warriors have done a good job. They only made 8 turnovers in this game."
Amika's sports media didn't care about Li Ze's stats at all at this time, and the press conference after the game was naturally a commercial bragging.
The media reporters failed to see Green, and finally interviewed Green before everyone on the Warriors boarded the bus.
Seemingly stimulated by this defeat, Green didn't need the reporters around to ask questions, and said loudly into the microphone in front of him:
"Ugly win! We'll teach them a lesson at Oracle Arena!"
"I've had enough of that egomaniac. He never looked down on a second-round pick like me, but it doesn't matter. I will prove myself!"
Green, whose left cheek was already swollen a lot, ignored Steve Kerr's advice, and sprayed furiously in front of the camera. Although he didn't name his name, the sports reporters around knew who the big mouth was talking about. .
Green, who couldn't get enough of it, just felt relieved, and before being pulled into the bus by Clara, he still kept shouting:
"See you at Oracle Arena!"
The sports reporter, who rarely caught big news, was completely excited. Everyone immediately sent a message to their colleagues who were divided into two groups, and began to spread the word with more fuel.
When Li Ze came to the parking lot, he saw a lot of media reporters in front of the car, and shrugged his shoulders amusedly.
"Kayce, Draymond Green thought it was an ugly win"
The TNT reporter just finished speaking halfway, Li Ze immediately interrupted with a smile:
"Clippers in Four!"
"This is my attitude, I'm going home to see my son!"
The sports reporters around don't care about Li Ze's answer, as long as they speak up, everyone can make something out of nothing
The ESPN reporter saw Li Ze waving at them, got into the car immediately, walked away, and said excitedly for a while:
"Finally seeing someone provoke Kayce, I'm starting to like this guy Green!"

QAQ blocked me when I went home today
(End of this chapter)
On the morning of May 5th, since there was only one game last night, America's football critics discussed G15 of the Western Conference Finals.
Leonard's "If" theory has been brought up again, and the argument is very simple:
"They all lead by 20 points at halftime. Maybe the four-star Warriors are not that strong?"
Sweeping the Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs and the Spurs in the semifinals, the Warriors did show their dominance, but the process was not so convincing.
Durant, who lost the game, was in a bad mood in the video class in the morning. He punched hard in the third quarter of last night's game, but unfortunately he was useless
Watching himself scoring goals in the replay, Durant thought about it and felt that losing was not his problem.
During the Thunder team period, Li Ze was at the beginning, and Durant played the role of a scorer. Later, he suffered a serious injury and became the leader for a season, and then Donovan came, and his status as a core player was not guaranteed.
How to be the leader of the team, Durant lacks experience, so after losing, he neither comforted his teammates, nor did he output crazy, but just remained silent.
There was only one day between G1 and G2, leaving little time for the Warriors to adjust. After the assistant coach dismantled the Clippers' offense, Steve Kerr stood up and said confidently:
"What we need to do is to improve the quality of the screen. We need to let the scorer find the feeling outside the three-point line first!"
"Listen, it's a long series, keep your mind up, on the road, we just have to play hard."
The coaching staff tried to keep the Warriors players confident, and the most feared thing in a big loss was to vent suddenly.
The function of the video lesson is to let the players see their own shortcomings, and by the way let everyone understand their roles, who will be the main attacker and who will be the tool man. After a game, they have a complete conclusion.
Curry watched the assistant coach constantly communicate with Durant, and felt a little uncomfortable. Obviously, everyone trusted Durant's ability more.
19中7，三分线外8中1，罚球2中2，17分5篮板4助攻2失误。
Curry's performance in G1 was mediocre, and it's no wonder that everyone no longer trusts him. Facing Li Ze's pursuit and defense, he really has no good way.
19中13，三分线外6中3，罚球6中6，35分5篮板3失误，杜兰特是勇士队G1发挥最好的球员。
After watching the video lesson, Green hugged his thigh again. After the assistant coach finished speaking, he followed suit:
"As long as Kevin can maintain such a stable score, we have a chance to win an away game!"
"Show our tough attitude, we have to escalate the confrontation, and if we want to win, we have to defend desperately!"
Green in the locker room likes to speak up. Everyone in the Warriors saw Green yelling loudly and waving his hands passionately, and they also discussed it. Last night's game can indeed explain a lot of problems:
There are not many available people on the bench, David West is weak in protecting the frame, and cannot prevent the Clippers from splitting and cooperating with the three on the line
Clay, like Durant, did not speak after watching the video lesson, but he has always been like this. He is not interested in being a licking dog, and he will not complain about his teammates' poor performance.
Last night's game was 11 out of 3 and only scored 8 points in the end. The audience was invisible. After watching the video lesson, Clay looked at Curry who was silent the whole time, and finally said only one sentence:
"Continue to shoot, continue to shoot from outside the three-point line, this is our right!"
Hearing the comfort of his teammates and looking at the technical statistics provided by the assistant coach, Curry nodded silently and made up his mind:
"This is my team!"
The interval between games is very short. In addition to warming up for tonight's Eastern Conference semifinal tiebreaker, the TNT program will naturally also follow the trend to discuss the Warriors' big loss.
As a professional basketball program, it is natural to present facts and make sense. The host Ernie Johnson saw the director put the data on the screen and immediately said:
"36:47, the Warriors lost 11 rebounds, Steve's bold start seems to have a problem!"
O'Neal has always disliked the current rhythm of basketball. For the Warriors' five small lineups, it is natural to have a wave of output:
"The reason why Kayce can easily break through to the basket and complete the offense is largely because the Warriors lack the height to protect the basket inside."
"How tall is Greymond Green? I'm sorry I can't remember, I swear, if I were ten years younger, I could easily destroy the inside of the Warriors!"
"Basketball needs height. The closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate. Jump shots can't win championships!"
Kenny Smith nodded with a smile on the side, he has always been a firm Li Zechui:
"Clippers in Four? I love the Clippers fans chanting!"
"Kayce only played 32 minutes, and last night was probably the easiest game of his career in the playoffs."
Charles Barkley, who has been silent for a long time, began to send suggestions for the Warriors at this time:
"If anyone from the Warriors sees our show, G2 will stop playing so softly!"
"If you can't make a shot from beyond the arc, go to the rim, get to the free-throw line, and don't expect the rebound to fall into your arms."
"Hey! The Clippers eliminated the 73-win Warriors, don't you want to eliminate the 74-win Clippers? This is the best chance for revenge!"
The host Ernie Johnson almost laughed out loud. Everyone watched the game. The Clippers' ability to protect the basket is not weak:
"Okay, Chuck, the series has just begun, give the Warriors a little time, even if the away game loses, I believe they will protect the home court."
"LeBron James will know tonight who he will face in the Eastern Conference finals this year. I kind of expect someone to end his reign in the Eastern Conference!"
Seemingly thinking of the possibility of this year's finals, Charles Barkley said another depressed sentence:
"I hope James doesn't go to the Finals again. Seriously, Eastern Conference teams, there is no hope of winning."
"."
The tie-breaker has attracted the attention of most fans, and a game that determines the outcome is always more attractive.
The Celtics have Blake Griffin, Al Horford, and Isaiah Thomas who broke out this year, and they are obviously even stronger!
It's just that under the blessing of the home whistle, the Wizards fought back and won all the home games by a narrow margin, which made it to the tiebreaker.
In the game that night, the Celtics broke out in the third quarter, at 24:34 in a single quarter, and their offensive firepower remained undiminished in the last quarter, winning the game in one fell swoop.
At 105:115, the Celtics successfully won the tiebreaker, reaching the Eastern Conference Finals again after many years!
The surface brother Griffin played 41 minutes, 16 of 10, scored 24 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal. The number of shots was not many, and his performance was quite satisfactory in terms of statistics.
The Celtics are blooming a lot. Under the system of head coach Stevens, everyone performs their duties and everyone is brave!
Griffin, who was grinning after winning the game, proved himself again. In an interview after the game, he even swelled and let out bold words:
"I will lead the team to the finals this year! Everyone underestimates us, and we will prove our strength."
The TNT reporter looked weird, he didn't believe Griffin's words at all, the Cavaliers are not a display
The Cavaliers coaching staff naturally also paid attention to this game. After Tyronn Lue saw that the opponent was the Celtics, he felt neither happy nor sad.
It is not their goal for a team with the highest salary in the league to only win the Eastern Conference championship. The current owner Gilbert is almost impatient.
Tyronn Lue knows that once the team loses consecutively, the thigh LeBron James may leave him. Taking advantage of the fact that the second player in the league still has trade value, he is not surprised that the team chooses to send away the Chosen Son.
Thinking of his contract situation, Tyronn Lue silently recited in his heart before going to bed:
"It's better to hold on for another year, the division champion is also the champion."
On May 5, G16 between the Warriors and the Clippers officially started that night.
For more than a day, neither side has much room for adjustment.
The Clippers, who hold the home court advantage, naturally want to protect the home court!
There are 2 days of adjustment time between G3 and G3. The Warriors will definitely work hard tonight. Even if the main lineup plays full time, as long as they win an away game, they will have enough recovery time.
Steve Kerr also directly revealed his card in an interview before the game:
"We will increase the playing time of the main lineup. At the same time, in this game, we will also shorten some rotations."
"Physical fitness is not a problem, don't forget that we are also a young team!"
Players from both sides did not accept too many interviews. G1 will test, and G2 will determine the trend of the series.
The Clippers fans naturally came to the Staples Arena early, and there was a burst of shouting "Clippers in Four" before the game, continuing to be crazy about the home team
Compared with G1, Slag Pachulia played a false starter, Iguodala returned to the bench, the Warriors did shorten the rotation, and David West only played 4 minutes.
It can barely be called an 8-man rotation. With the Warriors slamming the main force, the Clippers only led by 56 points at 58:2 in the half.
During the intermission, the Clippers fans at the scene were not worried about the result of the game at all, and the arena still maintained a joyous atmosphere.
In ESPN's commentary, Mark Jackson was relatively satisfied with the Warriors' halftime performance:
"This is the Western Conference Finals we were looking forward to. The Warriors made the right choice. What they need is to put the ball in the basket!"
"Consistent scoring is the most important thing. It's good to see them solve problems in the middle distance."
Durant made 13 of 8 in the half, scored 17 points and 1 rebound. With only one three-pointer, most of the offenses were completed in the middle distance.
Seeing that his old partner was in a good mood, Jeff Van Gundy joked:
"But what I see is that the Warriors still can't solve Kayce, 13 of 10, 6 of 4 from the three-point line, 29 points in the half!"
"Obviously, their defense wasn't doing anything."
When Mark Jackson heard such a response, he could only smile helplessly:
"It's useless to pray to God!"
"The Warriors need to accept these points. The difference of 2 points is negligible. The game is tied at halftime. They still have a chance in the second half."
In the Clippers locker room, everyone was still talking and laughing. The game finally came to their most familiar rhythm, and the ball was given to Li Ze.
In this game, even Eric Gordon's playing time has been reduced a lot, and all the defensive engineers who can play are defensive engineers.
Only Plumlee's normal rotation, the Clippers' strategy is to protect the inside, and after Paul George, the pie-eating center has little effect.
"Keep rebounding like this and we'll win tonight!"
About to debut, Li Ze moved his body, patted Jokic, and reminded his teammates to continue to protect the rebound with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, Kayce! Rebounding is not a problem, we have the height advantage!"
Paul George replied confidently from the side.
Although he failed to hold Durant in the half game, Paul George was in a good mood. The game became easier and easier, and he finally felt the feeling of hugging his thigh.
The atmosphere group also followed up to cheer up the main lineup. When it came to the key game, coach De Nagro no longer believed in the new players. There is a high probability that everyone will not have the opportunity to perform tonight.
Li Ze finally clapped his hands and led the Clippers out of the locker room. After a season, he finally found some feeling in tonight's game.
On the other side, Durant's excellent performance in the halftime made Green excited again. Seeing the continuous response from the thigh, Green felt that victory was already waving to them:
"We need to fight! Keep up the intensity of the defense and keep going for the rebounds."
"Leave the offensive end to Kevin. As long as we win an away game, we have a chance to end the series at home!"
During the intermission, Green began to encourage his teammates continuously. After the coaching staff made tactical adjustments, Green did not stop and continued to encourage everyone.
Veteran Andre Iguodala undertook all the tasks of defending Li Ze tonight. He scored zero points at halftime, but he is also very satisfied with the situation that the team is only 2 points behind:
"Hold on, don't worry about physical fitness, we will do our best tonight!"
The two kept high-fiving, trying to mobilize everyone's emotions. Durant felt that he was hot tonight, and at this time he said confidently:
"Give me the ball, victory tonight is ours!"
Hearing the promise made by the boss, there was a wave of flattery for a while, and several newcomers of the Warriors sang praises
In the Staples Center, the Clippers fans saw the Warriors kicking the baseline, and immediately shouted loudly:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
The Warriors took the lead in attacking, with simple and rough tactics. Green did not deal cards at the top of the arc. He cross-screened with Durant in the three-second zone, trying to switch Jokic in front of Durant.
This tactic was tried and tested in the first half. As long as the Clippers switched defenses, they basically gave Durant points.
Naturally, adjustments were made in the second half, and Li Ze strengthened his defensive aggression, and Iguodala was directly squeezed through the cover of pulling and dragging on the line.
Curry naturally felt the defensive pressure on his side. Harris had switched defenses in front of him, and Li Ze was chasing after him.
Double-teamed by two two-meter-high players, Curry almost failed to complete the ball, and hit the ground pass to Durant before approaching the left sideline.
After receiving the pass, Durant had a chance to give the ball to Iguodala who went down the middle, but in the end, Durant chose to continue playing singles.
Harris returned to defense to Iguodala's side, followed the opponent to the right corner, and the Warriors pulled away one by one, watching Durant continue to single out.
The timing of the pass was a bit slow. Durant didn't get the matchup he wanted. Looking at Paul George in front of him, he put the ball with his right hand after three threats in the left block. After a step up the line, he immediately relied on the hit .
With two strong hits, Durant immediately turned towards the baseline, and finally faced Paul George's block and completed a large fadeaway jumper!
"Shua!" A two-pointer was scored!
The two sides came to 58:58, and the Warriors successfully tied the point difference.
"Shhh!!"
The appearance of Durant pretending to be X and shaking his head to retreat was naturally booed by the Clippers fans on the scene.
There is nothing to analyze in such a tactical routine. It is simply the personal ability of the star. Both sides are waiting for the opponent's offensive power to be cut off.
The Warriors also made adjustments on the defensive end. After completing a single defense in the first half, they simply changed their defensive positions in the second half.
"Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers!"
The loud cheers didn't affect the Warriors' defensive formation.
Iguodala continued to lead the defense on the line. After Li Ze came to the left flank with the ball in his left hand, he immediately noticed the Warriors' rectangular position.
Clay and Curry stood at the two elbows on the left and right of the free throw line, and Green and Durant were off the line.
The rare defensive strategy did not cause any trouble to Li Ze. He dribbled the ball behind his back, switched to the right hand, and waved to Paul George on the right wing at the same time.
With Li Ze's instructions, Paul George immediately moved to the right corner. At the same time, Harris blocked Durant's side to cover Paul George without the ball.
When Li Ze approached the right flank with the ball in his right hand, Curry immediately stepped forward to cooperate with Iguodala to double-team Li Ze.
At the moment when the pinch was about to form, Li Ze quickly threw the ball to the right corner. Paul George received the pass and threw it away!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
The defense was unsuccessful in the first round, and the defensive tactics were so simple and rude, Steve Kerr on the sidelines rubbed his brows helplessly.
There is a reason why BOX-1 is known as a garbage tactic in the NBA.
Facing a single-core team, it may be possible to succeed, but once the role players are online and seize simple shooting opportunities, the defense will be completely disintegrated.
Li Ze's shooting percentage is too high, and the Clippers have an advantage in rebounding, which makes the Warriors constantly change their defensive strategies, trying to interrupt Li Ze's offensive rhythm.
After only one round, Steve Kerr yelled loudly on the sidelines and hurriedly made tactical gestures. They couldn't afford to bet.
In such a game, with a score difference of 5 points, the Warriors have a feeling of hopelessness.
The cheers of the fans made Paul George happy. It was difficult for him to get such an easy shot in the first half. Durant was responsible for marking him tonight, which also caused him a lot of trouble.
The Warriors' offensive rhythm is very slow, giving up the familiar passing and cutting in the regular season, and continuing to give the ball to Durant, who is in the right block.
This time Curry simply handed over the ball after halftime, and in the end it was Green who dealt the cards at the top of the arc, and the Warriors once again opened up the offensive space.
After receiving the pass, Durant immediately took a quick tentative step with his right foot, first horizontally and then vertically, after two consecutive taps, and finally against the defense, he made a mid-range jumper!
"Shua!" The middle distance scored again!
The block made by Paul George didn't play much role, and Durant felt very hot tonight.
Durant, who was pacing and retreating, enjoyed such moments very much. The boos of the fans were the best encouragement for him, and the one-on-one hero ball was what he had been longing for!
Curry, who has become a corner shooter for two consecutive rounds, is expressionless. He readily accepts the arrangement of the coaching staff. As long as he can win, everything is easy to say
Seeing the Warriors' tactics, Li Ze smiled and patted Paul George on the back as encouragement. He didn't like chasing Curry all over the court, and it was much more comfortable to squat in the corner.
It can also save him more physical energy by not having to run like crazy. Under normal circumstances, Li Ze seldom insists on making the super badge continue to respond, and the physical monster can't withstand such consumption.
But tonight's game was surprisingly easy, with frequent bottom corners, and not having to defend Durant, Li Ze saved a lot of energy.
On the Warriors bench, everyone looked at Li Ze with a smile on his face for half the time, and looked at each other for a while. Didn't he feel the oppression brought by Durant?
The man-to-man defense was restored. When Li Ze came to the left wing with the ball in his left hand, Tucker in the left corner cut in along the baseline without the ball, and Jokic, who was near the baseline on the right, moved to the free throw line.
Iguodala saw that the Clippers began to clear the inside again, immediately frowned, and hurriedly lowered the focus of defense.
Everyone in the Clippers had just finished positioning. Li Ze, who held the ball in his left hand, dribbled the ball under the crotch twice in a row under the defense of Iguodala. After shaking his body left and right, he accelerated with his left hand.
Iguodala slid quickly and did not lose his defensive position, but was crushed by Li Ze and broke through to the left block.
Green only felt that Li Ze was going to get close to the basket in the blink of an eye, and he didn't care about Jokic at the free throw line, so he helped defend under the blue at the first time.
As soon as the defense was in place, Green saw Li Ze suddenly stop in the left block, and retreated sharply after blowing up the ball. Iguodala's defense was completely gone.
Li Ze ignored the block and easily completed a fadeaway jumper. Green in the paint could only watch the ball fall into the basket accurately.
The Clippers fans at the scene were completely overwhelmed. The stars who come and go are singled out, which is everyone's favorite!
"There is nothing to say about such an offensive round. The test is the quality of the stars. Maybe the Warriors can consider double-teaming."
Mark Jackson thinks the game is pretty good, but there is not much to explain about this personal offensive mode. It is hard to imagine that the Warriors will play such a game.
As the game progressed, Durant kept asking for the ball, and the two sides began to stabilize +2
At 64:67, he hit two consecutive mid-range shots, and Durant scored all the points for the Warriors.
Just seeing that the team was still behind by 3 points and Li Ze was still attacking with a smile, Durant was a little bit broken
As expected, everyone in the Clippers looked serious, and there was no targeted defense against him at all. Durant even felt that the Clippers were inviting him to play singles.
"Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! Let's go!"
Li Ze's consecutive scoring in these rounds has ignited the atmosphere in the Staples Arena.
Amidst the loud shouts of the fans, Li Ze suddenly accelerated his progress.
Green reminded Iguodala loudly for the first time:
"Switch defenses!"
Although the problem was solved in the middle distance in several rounds, no one wanted to see Li Ze score at the basket.
With Tucker on the court, the Clippers sank to the bottom of most possessions, with Paul George on the left and right flanks.
In this attack, Jokic did not sink to the bottom line after halftime after completing the baseline serve. Instead, he made a high pick-and-roll for Li Ze at the logo position.
Iguodala failed to squeeze through the screen in time, and after Li Ze completed the change of direction with his right hand, he held the ball with his left hand and kept accelerating against the left side of Jokic's body.
Green desperately slid back to the right, facing Li Ze's crotch pull back on the three-point line, and quickly adjusted his defensive focus. Seeing Li Ze holding the ball in his right hand, he accelerated his breakthrough again and continued to slide back to the left.
After making an excellent defensive prediction, Green did not lose his position. Amidst the cheers of the fans, Li Ze, who broke through the paint, quickly turned around and came to the bottom left of the basket in an instant!
The high-speed turn around completely got rid of the defense, and Green, who was repeatedly broken through in the first half, completely broke the defense this time.
Evil comes from the guts, and when Li Ze's attack could not be blocked, he simply used "two dragons playing with pearls"!
After jumping in the air, Green pressed his arm with his right hand, followed by his left hand to get in the eye!
In the blink of an eye, Li Ze in the air grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand, leaned forward to pick up the basket, and at the same time tilted his head and elbow, and smeared Green's face first!
"My bowl!"
"what!"
Li Ze's cries and Green's cries of pain sounded at the same time. The fans only saw the ball hit the board and Green fell to the ground in pain, clutching his left face.
Swinging his right arm, a large bloodstain was drawn on Li Ze's arm. Green, who had eaten an elbow, was beaten hard, and fell to the ground covering his face and twitching.
"A boring little trick!"
Green, who was lying on the floor, heard Li Ze's voice, stood up in a daze, and wanted to come forward to punch two old punches.
The referee reacted faster, pulled Green immediately, and at the same time signaled the team doctor to come on the field. Li Ze's arm needs to stop bleeding, and Green also needs to check whether there is a concussion.
Everyone in the Warriors hurriedly gathered around, Clay pretended to push Li Ze to the Clippers bench, and the game was forced to suspend.
Looking back at the round just now on the big screen in the center of the field, Tucker was most clearly in the left corner. At this time, he was stopped by the assistant coach and kept shouting at the Warriors:
"Fack! What are you trying to do with your left hand? It's not a basketball move at all!"
Iguodala was also a little displeased with Li Ze's elbow, and also yelled:
"Didn't you see Draymond get hit in the face? What kind of basketball move is that?"
Steve Kerr hurriedly pulled the main players back to the bench. Fortunately, the referee kept watching the movements of the players on both sides, and there was no conflict after consecutive whistles.
Green, who was in a daze, only felt that his left face had begun to swell, and the Clippers fans at the scene began to spit after watching the replay:
"Fack squid! Dirty clown! You are not welcome in Los Angeles!"
"Shet! Is Pachulia playing too? Get the hell out of LA!"
The fans in the back row even threw beer directly at the Warriors bench, and the security guards rushed to control the emotional fans.
Everyone in the Warriors didn't care about such a scene. They had already enjoyed such treatment once in San Antonio.
The team doctor shook his head at Steve Kerr, indicating that Green must undergo further examinations and is temporarily unable to play.
The defensive core was gone, Steve Kerr had a headache for a while, and waved to Pachulia helplessly, the Warriors had to survive this period of time.
On the Clippers bench, Li Ze looked at the scratch on his right arm, and secretly complained in his heart:
"Fortunately, I've been prepared! Next time I have to wear an arm guard."
The referee did not give a malicious foul, but gave each of them a technical foul. Coach De Nagro still seemed very dissatisfied, and he was still arguing loudly in front of the technical stage:
"Hey! That's definitely a dangerous move, he should be sent off for this game!"
Thinking of the consequences of Jin's thigh injury, head coach De Nagro almost broke out in a cold sweat.
The third quarter of the game became full of confrontation with the departure of Green and the appearance of Pachulia.
After only playing a fake start for more than 3 minutes, Pachulia was full of energy. In the subsequent game, using aggressive screens, the Warriors finally punished Jokic consecutively.
"Shhh!!"
Seeing Curry go to the basket with the ball in his left hand and score two points, the Staples Arena was full of false noises, and Jokic was stunned.
With Durant's efficiency declining, others finally stood up and rushed to the basket frequently to score points.
The atmosphere group of the Warriors also cheered and celebrated. Green returned to the arena at the end of the third quarter. Steve Kerr did not immediately replace him. The current offensive rhythm of the Warriors is not bad.
The illegal cover has relaxed the scale again, which brings convenience to the Warriors and at the same time makes Li Ze's breakthrough unstoppable.
At the last moment of the third quarter, Iguodala still used the high pick-and-roll after halftime, and Iguodala bumped into Jokic's arms helplessly.
Seeing Li Ze push the ball with his left hand to change direction, accelerate and pass the delayed Pachulia in one step, Iguodala hurriedly shouted:
"Help defend!"
Durant, who was near the bottom line on the right, saw Li Zeyou rushing into the paint, and immediately stepped forward to block it.
Li Ze, who was in the breakthrough, did not slow down, swayed right and left, and made a large European step, shaking Durant into a telegraph pole, came to the bottom left of the basket, and succeeded in picking the basket with his left hand!
Durant, who hit the iron frequently in the second half, saw Li Ze walking towards the bench with a smile after finishing the attack. He couldn't help but slapped the ball hard twice, cursing inwardly:
"Damn attitude!"
At 87:90, with Li Ze's breakthrough at the buzzer at the last moment, the Clippers still maintain a 3-point lead!
The anxious game made the atmosphere of the Staples Arena gradually violent. Mark Jackson concluded cheerfully at this time:
"Wonderful game. The Warriors succeeded in attacking the Clippers inside in the second half and almost completed the overtake!"
"I didn't choose to shoot three-pointers, this is definitely the most correct choice!"
Jeff Van Gundy is also hard to say about the Warriors' screen problems, and the whistleblowing standards of both sides are the same:
"The Clippers replaced Plumlee's frame protection effect is also very general, the big man is facing the impact of the defender, it is difficult to make an effective defense."
The commentator Mike Breen is more concerned about playing time. Both sides rarely rest tonight:
"Kayce and Durant both played the third quarter, and the fourth quarter may be a test of their physical fitness!"
When Mark Jackson thought of physical problems, he sighed helplessly:
"Fitness? Test? Will Kayce get tired?"
In the Staples Arena, the noise is getting louder and louder. The more intense the game, the more involved the fans will be.
Li Ze, who was on the bench, was full of energy. He ate some oranges while resting. Seeing that the fourth quarter was about to start, he took the initiative to say:
"Coach, let me play first, I will play the 3rd position, and Tobias will continue to play the 4th position."
The Clippers naturally made such a plan. Coach De Nagro saw that Li Ze showed no signs of fatigue, and nodded without hesitation:
"The opponent is more tired than us. At the last moment of the game, all we have to do is to believe in each other and persevere. We will soon win the game!"
The atmosphere team also cheered after hearing the head coach's words. Everyone believed that no one could survive Li Ze. Even if they only led by 3 points, their morale remained undiminished.
In this game, Durant only rested for a period of time at the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter. After playing the third quarter, he continued to play in the fourth quarter.
The Warriors regained Livingston and David West, who didn't play much in the first half of the game, and Clay, Durant, and Green also played.
"Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers!"
In the fourth quarter, the Clippers took the lead in attacking. Amid the cheers of the fans, Brogdon advanced with the ball in his right hand, facing Livingston's defense, half turned around and protected the ball with his back.
The Warriors put a lot of pressure on Brogdon in this game, trying to cause mistakes for this cute new point guard.
Fortunately, the Clippers' tactical requirements are very simple. Don't hesitate to defend, pass halftime, and opportunities arise. If you do these three points, you will complete the task.
Harris on the left wing cuts diagonally and takes away Green's defense, while Li Ze in the right corner runs from right to left without the ball along the baseline.
Durant was naturally relentless in pursuit. Plumlee at the bottom left of the basket gave Li Ze a back screen. David West, with his old arms and legs, naturally did not switch defenses. After the screen, Durant's pursuit was slow. A beat.
Seeing Li Ze running to the left flank at high speed, Durant began to adjust his defensive focus when he was attacking outwards. He didn't want to be passed by one step.
Durant, who slowed down in advance, lowered his defensive center of gravity. The moment Li Ze, the left flank, received the ball, he swayed left and right, crossed and broke through, and accelerated with all his strength after releasing the ball with his right hand.
Durant, who was a little embarrassed, wanted to slide to the left rear to defend, but found that he was passed by one step.
Durant didn't even have time to remind David West on the inside, Li Ze rushed into the paint area, jumped with both feet, dodged David West's arm in the air, and grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand and smashed it into the basket basket!
"Squeak! Boom!"
The whistle blew the ball, and Li Ze's powerful tomahawk dunk instantly ignited the atmosphere of the scene.
After landing, Li Ze walked towards the free throw line with a calm expression. Green, whose left face was already swollen, clapped viciously and encouraged his teammates loudly:
"Good defense! That's it!"
Last year's loss, coupled with another elbow tonight, Green didn't pretend anymore, no matter what his appearance in the league, this time it's time to fight.
With Li Ze's extra penalty hit, the score came to 87:93, and the point difference was expanded to 6 points.
The Warriors' offense was still looking for Durant, but this time it was replaced by Li Ze's defense. The cross screen failed to get a chance, and he came to the left flank, but was still chased by Li Ze to the outside.
Livingston had just handed over the ball. After receiving the pass, Green at the top of the arc found that Durant was being guarded, and immediately turned his head to look at the right flank.
First, it was David West's screen on the bottom line on the right, and then Livingston, who passed the ball, screened in the block position. Under the double screen, Clay quickly bounced out.
Gordon lost his defensive position, Brogdon was a step slower in switching defenses, and Clay, who received the pass from the right wing, did not make any adjustments, and threw the ball as soon as he got it!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
At 90:93, the point difference was forced to close in an instant. After scoring the goal, Clay was also expressionless and retreated quickly.
The atmosphere team of the Warriors yelled from the sidelines, and the familiar three-pointer finally came back!
Durant was suppressed on the offensive end, and he couldn't stand it on the defensive end.
He clearly knew that the Clippers were playing a zipper screen to let Li Ze catch the ball at the right elbow, but he just couldn't keep up with the offensive rhythm.
Brogdon sent a pass at the top of the arc, and Li Ze received the ball in the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line. Durant just put up the defense, and Li Ze immediately put the ball with his right hand and made a breakthrough.
Durant, who had been prepared, hurriedly blocked the breakthrough route. At the same time, Livingston at the top of the arc also rushed up, double-teaming Li Ze from behind.
When the two were about to form an encirclement, Li Ze suddenly used his left foot as the axis, turned quickly from between the two, got rid of the defense in an instant, and shot a mid-range jumper with his body crooked!
"Shua!" Two points and then scored!
Livingston looked at Li Ze frantically, did he really have eyes in the back of his head?
Coach De Nagro was no longer calm at this time. The Warriors' cover was so fierce that he had to remind his players loudly from the sidelines:
"Switch, get past screens! Rebound!"
When the Warriors' primary hitter became Klay, it was basically catch-and-throw.
The Clippers fans at the scene saw that the left flank Clay did not make adjustments and threw another three-pointer, and they couldn't hold back:
"Shhh!!"
At 93:95, the point difference was narrowed again.
Durant only felt that he had become a defensive engineer, and the concealed pull prevented Li Ze from receiving the ball with his back on the left.
The excessive half-circle forward defensive action allowed Li Ze to find an opportunity, suddenly turned around, got rid of Durant's defense and went straight to the basket.
Brogdon's pass was too high, and the fans at the scene saw Li Ze catch the ball with his head flat on the basket, and all of them exclaimed.
David West hurried forward to block, and Durant also chased and double-teamed. Li Ze under the basket raised the ball and swayed it. Get up, hit the board and put the basket successfully!
"squeak!"
He didn't even pull it, David West heard the referee's whistle and had no choice but to put his hands on his hips. Is this strength a defender?
Taking advantage of Li Ze's free throw, the two sides got back the main lineup, and made another free throw, 93:98, and the point difference returned to 5 points.
The Warriors, who had suffered a lot, no longer took three-pointers easily at this time. After Curry appeared on the court, Paul George defended in front of Durant again, and the two sides began to fight each other inside.
Durant made a free throw, Paul George made a free throw, Iguodala made a free throw, and Li Ze stood on the free throw line again.
Without a sports game goal, the referee began to whistle continuously, and the Clippers fans on the scene screamed excitedly.
The point difference has been maintained at 5 points. No matter how the Warriors chase points, the Clippers can always respond in time.
Green was also completely on the top. Durant was blocked by Paul George's half-circle defense on the left and failed to catch the ball in time. Curry on the right flank came to the top of the arc again to hand over.
Green sent the ball, but found that Li Ze quickly squeezed past him again, his head felt hot, and he started to move with his buttocks pouted.
Li Ze was hugged immediately, and Green wanted to continue pestering, but was pushed away in the end.
"Hey! Go ahead! That's it, ignore me again!"
Seeming to have found his own sense of existence, Green, whose face was swollen, clapped his hands and shouted.
Li Ze shook his head, walked slowly towards the sideline, and reminded with a strange expression:
"It's time for you to rest!"
Green, who was still clapping excitedly, noticed that Steve Kerr on the sidelines called Pachulia to stand up and get ready to go on stage.
Green, who recovered his composure, saw the referee gesture, indicating that he had already fouled out, and immediately opened his mouth silently, which seemed a little unbelievable.
At 105:110, with the last 2 minutes and 07 seconds left in the game, Green fouled and left the field.
In the Staples Arena, the laughter of the Clippers fans stimulated Green again, and he raised his hands in broken cans, shouting and exchanging passion with the fans in the front row.
In the first defensive round after David West reappeared, Iguodala failed to squeeze through Jokic's screen in the pick-and-roll attack on the left flank.
David West, whose scalp was numb, was forced to delay coming up. He wanted to slide to defend, but Li Ze, who had just got rid of Iguodala with his left hand, quickly In and out.
After Li Ze's body swayed to the right, he suddenly took a large horizontal step. David West failed to make a defensive move, and Li Ze quickly shot a jumper from outside the three-point line!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
Seeing Li Ze put up three fingers calmly, and the game time was within 2 minutes, there was another loud cheer in the Staples Arena.
At 105:113, with 1 minute and 56 seconds left in the game, the Warriors faced the question of who to give the ball to.
Durant, who had declined in physical fitness, only scored one sports goal in the fourth quarter. After Curry held the ball for halftime, Durant still opened his hand for the ball in the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line.
Paul George didn't take many offensive shots in this game. At this time, he completely leaned on Durant and defended several times, making Curry dare not pass the ball easily.
Li Ze is also oppressing Curry's right hand. In desperation, he dribbles the ball behind the top of the arc. Curry, who holds the ball in his left hand, is going to use David West's cover to continue to break through.
The up-line cover was squeezed, and Curry felt that Li Ze was chasing up again, and continued to accelerate regardless.
The two rushed into the paint, Jokic stopped at the free throw line to mark West, and there were only two people in the penalty area.
Curry, who made a layup, tried to lean forward, trying to use his speed to get rid of Li Ze's defense.
The moment Curry picked up the basket with his left hand, the ball just came out of his hand, and the next second it stopped on the backboard!
"Snapped!"
Li Ze, who had been waiting in the air for a long time, sent out a pegboard hat. The fans at the scene saw Li Ze regain control of the ball, and everyone in the Clippers ran wildly to launch a counterattack, and immediately shouted excitedly.
Clay didn't care about the opposing defender at this time, and immediately defended Li Ze's side.
Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, quickly circled the ball behind his back, switched to his right hand and continued to accelerate.
The two entangled and came to the right flank outside the three-point line. Before they could get close to the three-point line, Li Ze made an emergency stop and suddenly crossed and pulled back.
Clay didn't have time to adjust his defensive focus. Seeing that Li Ze didn't slow down after making an emergency stop, he rushed past him with the ball in his left hand. His feet stumbled in a hurry, and he was instantly shaken to the floor.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Li Ze, who holds the ball in his left hand, went straight to the basket at 45 degrees from the left wing, approached the paint area and soared into the air, gliding in the air.
Dodge Durant who blocked the block from the side, grab the ball with one hand with his left hand, and avoid David West's block under the basket in the air.
After shaking twice in the air, he came to the lower left side of the basket, and after being completely unguarded, he took advantage of the opportunity to pick the basket!
"Squeak!"
The whistle blew and the ball went in, and the Staples Arena instantly exploded. On the Clippers' bench, the atmosphere team was so excited that they tossed the towel!
"Wow!"
It was almost a goal that sealed the victory. After landing, Li Ze yelled, and by the way, glanced at the silent Warriors bench, high-fived with his teammates to celebrate, and slowly walked to the free throw line.
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
Amid the shouts of MVP from the fans at the scene, Li Ze's extra penalty hit steadily again.
105:116，全场比赛还剩1分26秒，快船队领先11分。
Time was running out. Clay missed consecutive three-pointers at the last moment. The Clippers spent 24 seconds. Paul George stood on the free throw line again, and the game completely lost its suspense.
The final buzz sounded, and the score was fixed at 107:118. After a hard fight to the end, the Clippers successfully protected the home court, and the series came to a score of 2:0.
Durant, who failed to receive the pass at the last moment, seemed very dissatisfied, and walked directly to the player channel at the end of the game.
Curry looked at the big screen in the center of the venue unwillingly, shook hands briefly, turned his head and left with a serious expression.
The only cheers in Staples Center were Clippers fans, who yelled again:
"Clippers in Four!"
Riding on the face to ridicule, the Warriors, who had lost two games in a row, soon all left the field.
Seeing Li Ze and Paul George clapping their hands in celebration and waving to the fans, Mark Jackson in the commentary had no choice but to smile bitterly:
"The unstoppable Kayce, the terrifying scoring stability, the strongest scorer in history!"
"Unfortunately, the Warriors lost at the last moment, they made a stupid mistake!"
Jeff Van Gundy understood that his old partner was referring to Green's foul, but he had a different opinion:
“26中19，三分线外9中6，罚球12中12，56分7篮板7助攻1抢断1盖帽，这才是我们熟悉的Kayce。”
"What I want to say is that this is the gap between the stars. The Warriors have done a good job. They only made 8 turnovers in this game."
Amika's sports media didn't care about Li Ze's stats at all at this time, and the press conference after the game was naturally a commercial bragging.
The media reporters failed to see Green, and finally interviewed Green before everyone on the Warriors boarded the bus.
Seemingly stimulated by this defeat, Green didn't need the reporters around to ask questions, and said loudly into the microphone in front of him:
"Ugly win! We'll teach them a lesson at Oracle Arena!"
"I've had enough of that egomaniac. He never looked down on a second-round pick like me, but it doesn't matter. I will prove myself!"
Green, whose left cheek was already swollen a lot, ignored Steve Kerr's advice, and sprayed furiously in front of the camera. Although he didn't name his name, the sports reporters around knew who the big mouth was talking about. .
Green, who couldn't get enough of it, just felt relieved, and before being pulled into the bus by Clara, he still kept shouting:
"See you at Oracle Arena!"
The sports reporter, who rarely caught big news, was completely excited. Everyone immediately sent a message to their colleagues who were divided into two groups, and began to spread the word with more fuel.
When Li Ze came to the parking lot, he saw a lot of media reporters in front of the car, and shrugged his shoulders amusedly.
"Kayce, Draymond Green thought it was an ugly win"
The TNT reporter just finished speaking halfway, Li Ze immediately interrupted with a smile:
"Clippers in Four!"
"This is my attitude, I'm going home to see my son!"
The sports reporters around don't care about Li Ze's answer, as long as they speak up, everyone can make something out of nothing
The ESPN reporter saw Li Ze waving at them, got into the car immediately, walked away, and said excitedly for a while:
"Finally seeing someone provoke Kayce, I'm starting to like this guy Green!"
